3. Well at some point in time in the past Romney was not against abortion, so there...

... he has not crawled to the foot of Falwell and Dobson, kissed their ring, and begged forgiveness (like another Republican candidate we all know --who once called Falwell an agent of intolerance, but today is best buddies with him).

Romney has exactly NO CHANCE of ever winning the support of this group. They have their litmus tests, and there is no flexibility that allows support of anyone who EVER opposed one of their hotbutton issues.

I guess if there is no candidate they can support, they will just turn out and not vote for a presidential candidate, right?

4. Yeah but McCain is being used and abused worse this time than when he ran before....

Bush gives him 'the hug' and promises he will introduce McCain to all his top campaign aides and fundraisers if McCain changes his positions and supports Bush --which he does, and Bush in the meantime is pushing his brother Jeb to run.

McCain swallows his pride and crawls to Falwell alleging he has changed and will support overturning Roe(abortion), but Falwell has no intention of helping McCain.

And now the public sees and understands the hypocrisy going on, and McCain's numbers drop below 20% approval.

Here we go. Here's now carrying out a hunger strike for his refusal to testify against the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT), which is part of a much larger network of Saudi and Muslim Brotherhood-backed organizations that were raided in 2002. There's more on that here, and much more on that here, here, and here.

10. For a Long Time Ralph Reed Was Being Groomed As Their Candidate, but you know what happened to him..

He not only did not get their support, but got beat in his race for governor after it came out he was lying to everyone, laundering money from Jack Abramoff, and using 'religious money' to support gambling interests.

Oh well, he would have fit right in with the leaders of the rightwing conservative fundamentalists if he had not been caught and exposed.

That vaunted power base you boast about is myth. In case you hadn't noticed, take a few minutes and google political archives dated November 8th./06. You say you can't "find any candidate you can support in the 2008 Presidential race"? Bullshit, you bloviating sand-baggers, you've got two or three candidates who would mold perfectly into your job description.

See, the problem is your "acceptable candidates" would be about as salable as a Hummer at a Honda hybrid convention. Listen Jimbo, pay attention Jer,except for the blind ones still hobbled in the barn, your ponies have bolted.

Gotta hand it to you guys though, you're still out there flailing away, pretending the great masses are still mobilized for your agenda. They're gone dudes, you know it, we know it and this "we didn't have a candidate we could support" crap is all subterfuge to give you cover for the train wreck coming straight at you in 08.

Duncan Hunter would be an ideal fit for Jerry and Jimbo. Problem is they don't dare back him publically; you see Dunc stands at 2% in the popularity poll, just shade better than the not applicable category.

The only way Jerry and Jim could back Hunter is if he could claw his way into the 20% to 30% range. This would allow them to jump in and leapfrog to their rightful position at the head of the parade. If they come out at this stage for a 2%er they put in serious jeopardy their self-appointed role as spokesmen for the Christian Taliban. These good old boys read the writing on the wall and just decided to cut and run.
